The Foundation’s Position
The Foundation strongly supports the drive towards stabilization and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in accordance with Kyoto and other accords.
However an overview is urgently required – of wind farm location policy and energy strategy in general. This should incorporate evidence from other countries further advanced in wind power installation, such as Denmark and Germany .
